Welcome to the WA Auto Parts blog! We are the best place in Perth, Western Australia, to buy, sell, and get rid of old car parts. We have cars from all makes, models, and years in our yard. We have to figure out how much cars that have reached the end of their road life are worth.
But every now and then, a car comes in that makes our team really happy. It’s not a rare supercar or a classic car, but something even better for our customers: a late-model, popular car in great shape that they can use for parts.
This week, the car is a stunning 2016 Holden Cruze in Phantom Black.
As WA Auto Parts, the best place to get used car parts and spares, we know that a 2016 model is a great choice for being taken apart. Why? A lot of these cars are driving around Perth right now. Most of them are just out of warranty, and their owners are looking for cheap ways to keep them running well.
For one owner, a small accident can cost a lot of money for another. We were able to save a lot of brand-new, real Holden parts from this Cruze, and they are now ready to give your Cruze a new lease on life.
Before you even think about paying full price for a new part at a dealership, you should read this. Let’s check out the great deals that are waiting for you at our wrecking yard in Perth.
Why This 2016 Holden Cruze Is So Important
The JH Series II Cruze from Holden was a big hit. It looked good, had a lot of technology (like MyLink), and was fun to drive in a modern way. They are reliable, fast, and easy to drive every day.
But things happen in life. An insurance company may call a car a “statutory write-off” if it gets into a small accident, hits a parking bollard, or has an electrical problem. This is where we, as a professional wrecker like WA Auto Parts, come in. We don’t crush things; instead, we recycle them in a way that lasts.
The back end of this black 2016 model was broken. This is great news for you because it means that the engine bay, the valuable front panels, and the whole inside of the car are all in perfect shape.
These parts don’t come from a car that’s been around for 20 years and is falling apart. We have checked and tested these new parts with low mileage.
Information about the “Donor” Car
These are the important numbers for the car we are currently taking apart to help you find the right parts:
- Holden is the brand.
- Type: Cruze (JH Series II)
- Year: 2016
- Color: Phantom Black (paint from the factory)
- Body Type: Sedan; Engine: 1.6L 4-Cylinder Turbo
Automatic transmission with six speeds
Odometer: Low KMs (around 95,000 KMs)
Condition: Hit from the back. The front, sides, and inside are all in great shape.
The Wrecking “Hot List”: Groups of Parts That Are for Sale
This is the most important part. The professional dismantling process has already begun, and the phones are already ringing. Here is a complete list of the parts that are in high demand and that we have in stock.
1. The Powerplant: 1.6L Turbo Engine and Other Parts
This engine is not the usual 1.8L. This is the 1.6L Turbo, which is stronger and more desirable. If your Cruze is slow, smoking, or has a transmission slip, this is the answer.
Complete 1.6L Turbo Engine: An engine assembly with low kilometers that has been tested for compression and thoroughly checked. This is the best heart for a full swap, which will save you thousands of dollars on a risky rebuild.
The turbocharger is what makes this engine run well. We checked ours for shaft play, and it works perfectly.
6-speed automatic transmission: a part that breaks a lot on newer cars. This low-KM unit has been drained and checked, and it works well as a replacement that shifts smoothly.
We have the real fan assembly, starter motor, alternator, AC compressor, and radiator for your engine. Get the OEM original instead of a cheap aftermarket part that will break in six months.
2. The technology and comfort: a full interior and the MyLink system
This is likely the most sought-after part of a modern Holden. Is your MyLink touchscreen not working anymore? Is your Bluetooth not working?
Holden We have the complete, tested MyLink head unit and touch screen for the MyLink entertainment system. A dealer would charge thousands of dollars to fix this. Get back all of your music, navigation, and phone connection at once.
- Full Interior Seat Set: Are your seats ripped, stained, or has the driver’s seat broken? The front and back seats of this car are all clean and new, so it will feel like a new car again.
- Instrument Cluster: Are the gauges broken? Are there burned-out pixels? We have the real instrument cluster with low KM all set up.
- Steering Wheel and Airbags: Our steering wheel has controls for audio and cruise, among other things. We also have a full set of real airbags (for the steering wheel, the dashboard, and the sides) that are not deployed, so you can get a safe, professional collision repair.
3. The Perfect Match: “Phantom Black” Outside Panels
The most annoying and expensive thing you can do is get a panel beater to perfectly match a modern metallic or pearl paint. What is the answer? A real panel that was painted at the factory.
Doors: All four of our doors are in great shape. There isn’t a single dent or big scratch. They come with everything you need, such as glass, window regulators, and switches.
The bonnet is in great shape. A simple bolt-on replacement for your damaged bonnet, whether it was hit by hail or a dent.
You can get perfect Phantom Black guards for both the left and right front.
Front Bumper Assembly: Our complete front bumper includes the grille, fog lights, and all of the internal supports.
The headlights and taillights don’t have any cracks, fading, or leaks. A set of clear, bright headlights will make your car look different and, more importantly, help you see better at night.
Our black electric side mirrors match, and they have lights that show when they’re on.
4. The Foundation: Tires, Wheels, and Suspension
Don’t drive on wheels that are bent, broken, or scratched.
Four Alloy Wheels: We have all four of the factory 17-inch alloy wheels that came with this 2016 model. They are in great shape and would be a great upgrade from steel wheels or a good replacement for your broken ones.
Tyres: The wheels come with a good set of roadworthy tyres with lots of tread, which saves you even more money.
We have the entire front and rear suspension, as well as the brake calipers, rotors, and ABS module. If your Cruze makes a “clunking” noise over bumps or feels loose, these low-KM parts are the best way to fix it.
Why should you trust WA Auto Parts with your Holden parts that you don’t need anymore?
We know there are other places to get parts in Perth, but WA Auto Parts is more than just a junkyard. We are a professional auto parts store that always puts our customers first.
Genuine OEM Fit: When you buy a used part from us, you’re getting the same part that Holden made, designed, and built for your car. It will always fit just right. No more fighting with cheap, weak parts from other companies that don’t fit.
The best part is that it costs a lot less. You can get a real, high-quality part for 50%, 60%, or even 70% less than what a dealer would charge for a new one. You can keep that money.
We check and test the quality of our goods. Our reputation is based on trust. Our repairmen don’t just hit parts with a hammer to break them. We carefully take apart, look at, and test each major part. We look for damage that isn’t obvious on the panels, turn on the electronics, and check the engines for compression.
One of the best ways to recycle in the world is to be a car wrecker. When you buy a used part, you keep a perfectly good one from going to waste and use less energy and raw materials to make a new one.
We don’t only sell parts; we also buy cars!
While you work on your own car, you might see an old, broken, or unwanted car in your driveway. Are its parts giving it trouble? Is it not on the list? Has it been in an accident?
